Craftport
The making of Craftport was a challenge, but carpenters and builders became better for it.
May this town bring fortune to the nation under angelic protection.
First Trading Hub
Craftport was the first built settlement of Astnyr. During Beight's building pilgrimage, the carpenters and builders accompanying her gathered wood and stone to build Astnyr's first trading hub. Of course, there needed to be other settlements first before Craftport's true potential came to light. Back then, the town was known as the headquarters of the light paladins and healing clerics. The head cleric had the infirmary built with Beight's blessing, along with houses for the people.
Once other towns and cities were built, Beight designated Craftport to be Astnyr's main trading hub. This was beneficial since Craftport was built in the very center of the continent, creating the best trading routes for traders and merchants. Craftport had another transformation after Lunarius was sealed. The town became the secondary trading hub once Seaport was built on the neighboring island. However, Craftport's importance
History
During her pilgrimage to expand Astnyr, Beight constructed Craftport. For some centuries, it was a simple village that housed paladins and clerics. However, the construction of Seaport turned it into a trading site that extended from the island city. People of all trades came to Craftport to hone their craft, and the Paladins and clerics helped house and protect the new villagers. When the humans migrated to Astnyr, the village became larger, populating 15,000 citizens daily.
Craftport was the most profitable village in all of Astnyr, with the villagers helping travelers along with good trade and exports to Seaport.
Defenses
Craftport's defenses primarily involved the Light Paladins and Healing Clerics. There were no walls or technology that defended the citizens of the trading village. However, there was no need, since the military had the use of holy magic from both parties. Light paladins went into the front line while healing clerics were in the back. Luckily, they have defended Craftport from both Lunarius and Morana so far.
Points of Interest
There were some shops that became famous throughout generations. A man named Gregory Hansford founded one of these shops. This was after Humans migrated to Astnyr. Gregory found success in brewing and selling potions that helped the public. Alexa Silverwind, wife of Eldin Silverwind and mother of Lyria and Ladric Silverwind, inherited the shop.
There were three clerical infirmaries in Craftport. Two infirmaries were stationed on the left borders of the town, while one was at the north-eastern border.
National Trade
Craftport traded with all cities of villages of Astnyr along with Seaport. However, Ironhammer became resistant to trade and stopped altogether. This meant weapons were not being transported to Craftport, leaving Light Paladins and Healing Clerics without maintenance of weapons along with new ones.
Lyria Silverwind
Craftport was the birth place of Lyria Silverwind, eldest daughter of Alexa and Eldin Silverwind. She first became a Healing Cleric like her father, but after her little brother Ladric died from the Decaying of Bones, she resigned. The half-elven woman felt dejected and she could not save her brother. So instead, she played his favorite instrument to the local tavern, the violin.
One day during such a performance, a badger walked into the tavern. This was a mysterious occurence, with the badger transforming into the Goddess, Sonance. She snuck out of Singing Glades to speak to her chosen, Lyria. From that day forth, Lyria was a Song Bard with some holy magic in her arsenal along with charm magic.
Lyria found Eldrinor in the ruins of Magick Glades, beginning a journey she was destined to walk.
